2. Setup and Installation

Proper installation of the Rear Camera is crucial for optimal performance. This camera is intended for surface mounting and connects to your main Q7 Dash Cam unit.

2.1 Physical Installation

1. Choose a Mounting Location: Select a suitable flat surface at the rear of your vehicle that provides an unobstructed view. Common locations include above the license plate or on the rear window.
2. Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the chosen mounting area to ensure it is free of dust, dirt, and moisture. Use an alcohol wipe if necessary and allow it to dry completely.
3. Apply Electrostatic Film (Optional): If desired, apply the provided electrostatic film to the mounting surface before attaching the camera. This can help protect your vehicle's surface and make removal easier.
4. Attach the Camera: Remove the protective backing from the 3M adhesive on the camera's mounting bracket. Carefully position the camera and press firmly onto the cleaned surface for at least 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond.

2.2 Connecting to the Q7 Dash Cam

1. Route the Cable: Carefully route the camera's RCA connector cable from the rear mounting location to the main navycrest Q7 Dash Cam unit. Ensure the cable is tucked away neatly and does not interfere with vehicle operations or safety features. Avoid sharp bends or pinching the cable.
2. Connect the RCA Plug: Locate the dedicated RCA input port on your navycrest Q7 Dash Cam. This port is typically yellow. Insert the yellow RCA plug from the rear camera cable firmly into this port.
3. Power Connection: Ensure your main navycrest Q7 Dash Cam is properly powered (e.g., via the cigarette lighter adapter or hardwire kit). The rear camera draws power directly from the main unit.

If your main Q7 Dash Cam is connected to an Android car navigation system, you may need to install specific software for full functionality. Refer to the video below for a general guide on this process.
